COMPOUND FOR TREATING TOBACCO.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.327,l58, dated September 29, 1885.

Applicaiion filed March 2, 1885. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADOLPH GLOESER, of West St. Paul, county of Ramsey, Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved Cour pound for Treating Tobacco, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved compound or mixture for treating tobacco in such a manner as to destroy or neutralize the injurious properties of the tobacco and to render the tobacco agreeable and non-injurious to health.

The compound consists of the following in gredients, mixed in the proportions given, to wit: Fluid extract of coca, one hundred drops; tincture of tolu, eighty drops; fluid extract of hops, sixty drops; essence of lemon, five drops; and hot apple cider, one hundred and forty-five drops.

The above-described compound is used for treating cigars and smoking-tobacco, and is applied on the tobacco before being formed into cigars or cut and prepared for smokingtobacco; but it can also be applied on the manufactured cigars and smoking-tobacco.

The quantity used is about from three to five drops for each cigar or pipe of tobacco.

For chewing tobacco, equal parts of fluid extract of coca and tincture of tolu are used.

The above-described mixture destroys the injurious ingredients of the tobacco and neutralizes the nicotine, thus making the tobacco perfectly harmless and non-injurious, and at the same time the tobacco is rendered more agreeable.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A compound for treating cigars and smoking-tobacco, consisting of tincture of coca, fluid extract of tolu, fluid extract of hops, essence of lemon, and apple cider, in about the proportions given, and as set forth.
